The reason why a man who helped an elderly man who fell while riding a bicycle in China was unfairly concentrated as a perpetrator and proved his innocence for more than 10 days is causing controversy.

According to Chinese media such as China Dotcom, on the 14th of last month, Mr. In, who lives in Taoyuan, Hunan Province, saw an old man who fell on a bicycle on the side of the road on the way to the hospital with his son, pulled up his bicycle, and helped him.

Since then, his son's pain has worsened, so In hurriedly left the scene and headed to the hospital.




Afterwards, the elderly's family reported to the police that In was the perpetrator who caused the accident and demanded compensation of 30,000 yuan (about 6 million won).

The place where the incident occurred was a blind spot without a surveillance camera, and In suffered from extreme mental stress and tried to prove his innocence for more than 10 days. Eventually, he managed to secure hidden CCTV footage from the neighborhood to prove his innocence.

However, the old man's family left the police station, leaving only an insincere apology.




In said that he was mentally traumatized by this incident, and appealed that `It is regrettable that what he helped in good faith has become a perpetrator.'

Legal experts analyzed that the behavior of the elderly family is not yet a 'innocent' or 'defamation'.

However, he advised that he can claim compensation through civil lawsuits for transportation expenses and loss of business closure that In spent to prove his innocence, and mental damages can also be claimed because the behavior of the elderly family constitutes an infringement of the right to honor and personal rights.




Upon hearing the news, Chinese netizens said "I don't know if I can help the old man who fell down in the future.", "Legal arrangements are needed to prevent good-faith rescuers from becoming victims.", "The claimant must prove it." show a reaction of the back.
